The radial distribution function of worm-like chains.
Article in The European physical journal. E, Soft matter, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Thermal conformations of semiflexible macromolecules are generically described by the worm-like chain model. The end-to-end distance distribution, a fundamental quantity of the model, is not yet known in closed form. We provide a solution to the practical problem of choosing an appropriate approximation. First, a comprehensive review of existing approximations and exact limiting results is given. We then propose an explicit expression which interpolates between all relevant limiting cases. We show that it accurately reproduces, at no computational cost, high-precision Monte Carlo data, covering a wide range from stiff to flexible chains and from looped to fully stretched configurations. Using this result we quantify the enhancement of short worm-like loop formation by (protein) bridges.
